SAN ANTONIO--A north side homeowner contacted News 4 after receiving what she calls a high energy bill from CPS Energy.

Sue Lindberg has lived in her north side home for 18 years and says she's never received a bill for more than $380.00.

She showed us her usage history and News 4 contacted CPS Energy who told us "her usage doesn't seem to be normal."

They also told us they will have a crew check out her meter Wednesday.

As for others who believe they have a similar situation; they can call CPS Energy at 353-2222 or contact me at jacquelineortiz@woaitv.com

CPS admitted that they sometimes "guesstimate" some energy bills instead of actually reading the meters. Well, in that case I guess I owe them about $10 this month then. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Word !

Phrilly - so by your logic, one can't complain about poor reporting because it was also reported someplace else?

Everyone just wants a taste of the spotlight.

Oh well Jimkata, then you can't complain. You know they have monkeys updating their website. It surely isn't somebody that actually has a degree.

Everyone should stop their whining. The city council needs more money for their pet projects and to start a campaign fund for "Fidelito" Castro so he can re-elect as mayor. That's the reason the "executives" at C(ree)PS are paid more money than a federal senator... Because they know how to squeeze more money from the customers, regardless of the fact that rate-payers are the ones putting the food on the "executives" tables. They are like the Zetas in Mexico...they do what they want and nobody can stop them.

I think the story was shortened for the 10pm broadcast. They did show the bill earlier.

I live on the same street and am dealing with an energy bill that is about $120-130 more than my usual bill. I know other people on our street who have the same issue. Is this a glitch or does CPS just not like our neighborhood? :)

I HATE THE SPAM!!!! ERMEDIC - HER BILL WAS ABOUT $385 AND HER USAGE WAS WAY OVER WHAT IT USUALLY IS. IF YOU WATCHED THE NEWS YOU WOULD KNOW THAT.
